Description
Plaintiff Dwight E. Freeman, an inmate at Correctional Medical Center, brought an action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against defendants, all employees of the Medical Center, in their individual capacities. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies in accordance with the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a).*fn1 Plaintiff contends that he is not required to exhaust the prison's administrative remedies because (1) his excessive force claim does not involve a "prison condition" within the meaning of § 1997e(a); *fn2 he seeks only monetary damages, which are not provided by the Ohio prison grievance procedures; *fn3 an investigation into the matter by the Ohio State Highway Patrol satisfies the exhaustion requirement and *fn4 he did in fact exhaust his administrative remedies.
